Pretty Impressed....

Hello people, i was on my way home after the gym. I came across few people. 4 people including myself, we were sitting at the light and well, you know the rest. The cars as follows. Gallant VR4 turbo awd stick, 240SX with a skyline engine, new Chevy silverado, and 1st gen eclipse turbo awd. Well all of us took of at the light, out of all the people i can 2nd, the 240sx was first and wasn't far behind was me by 2 cars. Me and the Eclipse and the Galant was neck to neck. And the silverado was left far behind. I am pretty inpressed. Thats my story. I know racing is bad, i was tempted.....

Those DSM drivers don't know how to drive then. My stock 2G Talon launches twice as hard as my SVX ever did.

How do you know the 240SX had a Skyline engine in it? That may be the only way I'll ever get my dream powerplant.....

um... yeah right. Stock SVX has no balls off the line. You may have been able to beat out the Chevy pickup but you would get owned by a stock 1g DSM no less a mosified one, and the vr4 galant would do the same slaughter on the svx. Don't act like the car is fast. Turbo awd mitsus are some of the best car to just throw around because they make power and they are light, our cars.... well lets just say they are not

Very true. I know several lightly modded DSM's and Galant VR4's that can cut a 1.6-1.7 60ft off the line at the dragstrip on street tires. Fastest 60ft I've ever seen on an SVX is by TomsSVX who's cut a 2.0 off the line with his 4.11 geared 5spd. Fastest for an automatic is a 2.1 which I cut with my 4.44 geared SVX.
